Because of my Design/Builder/Remodel Degree, my education has taken me through every aspect of building and carpentry. I'm constantly trying to pursue every facet of that topic. If it challenges me, interests me, and ultimately made of wood, that's what I want to be going after.

Cabinetry

Cabinetry gives me a chance to bridge the gap between interior finishes and furniture. It allows me to create something that has an aesthetic beauty and more importantly a permanent function.

Building cabinets can be a long, detailed process, but the end result is beautiful. The wood used depends on the type of room and decor, but good cabinetry can make a home's interior design really stand out while making it look like its been part of the home all along.

Interior Finishes

Whenever I walk into a building I get a sense of how that building feels. I look at the style, age, period, and lines and let it speak to me. I love being able to bring out the essence of these things, especially the history of that space. There's nothing like being able to come into a home and feel peace and comfort right away, that's what I try to bring out with my work. 

From hardwood floors, crown and base molding, doors and door frames, exposed beams, and breakfast nooks. Putting the interior finish of a house brings out the ultimate beauty, giving the homeowners a chance to reflect their style and personality into their environment. 

Furniture

I've always been inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright and his use of space. Whenever he would design furniture (or anything else for that matter) he would design it with a specific intent, that it belonged in that space, enhanced it. The furniture didn't take away from it's surroundings. It just simply harmonized.

Any time I'm privileged enough to build a piece of furniture for a client, the first thing I do is take a look at where that piece will be placed. I love clean, modern lines and I love the simplicity of the Shaker style and Craftsmen movements. To me that's where carpentry hit it's stride and I see no point in reinventing the wheel, just different interpretations of it.
